We also have the regular purple vitex blooming, and while these are considered to be invasive in Central Texas, neither have reseeded in the 5+ years we’ve been living here. But #buyerbeware

In other weird news, this flowering quince ‘Texas Scarlet’ bloomed again! After reading everything about this plant, I thought it would only bloom in the colder months, but she surprised me. Unfortunately this past week, she’s starting to look a little wilty, hopefully she’ll bounce back and we won’t have another death…

Also, my most favorite plant in the garden…Pink Globe Mallow. Putting out new blooms every day for the past 3 weeks!

And the party plants of the garden…Lantana.

Most are volunteers.

A new favorite…morning glory ‘flying saucer’. I’ve moved it to a shadier area, since it doesn’t seem to like the heat. Fingers crossed that it can hang on through the summer.

And last but not least, Rock Rose (Pavonia) sends up small hibiscus like flowers with minimal watering and terrible soil conditions. #ShesAKeeper
